EPISODE 17: How to become a rockstar

It was my first week in SF. I was sitting at my desk, not knowing anyone, pretending to look kewl and busy, like I knew what I was doing. (Hint: I didn’t.)

And out of nowhere, this dude in a colorful t-shirt and way too many vibez, rocking a huge DLSR camera in one hand, the other extended, welcoming, is suddenly all up in my face, jarringly disrupting my facade of faux chillness.

“HEY! I’M VAHE!!”

And, I’m like, oh hi, Alec, as I start to slowly stand up, still startled. I meet his extended hand with my own, intimidated by the dude’s energy and presence, but also intrigued.

“LET’S GO TAKE YOUR PHOTO,” he commands, waving his Canon 6D around in the air.
